Only heard the last bit , he listed all the players we have bought from clubs outside the Premier League for relatively small transfer fees. A very impressive list of first teamers we have since developed . He said his message to the board now is that these lower league clubs no longer want 2-3 mill...

Elizabeth

Many recently questioned his ambition at not moving on and they may be right but the club is richer for having such loyal players.
Whatever he achieves in the game I don't think he will ever forget today and being part of the Dyche era and what it has done for the club and us fans

Elizabeth

First to correct you, they did not all wear the 'End Racism' shirt unless you can see something in that picture that I can't.
I don't think any explanation of 'Of all description ' is needed

Elizabeth

The T shirts worn by the F1 drivers have got it right. The message said 'End Racism'
Of all description

Elizabeth

Feel very proud of yourself that you had the strength to compose your post beddie, your pain at your sorry loss comes through clear. I think what your are doing to honour your grandson is admirable and touching. I hope in time you have other grandchildren to help take this pain away. And that of you...

This is good news and if a couple of them made the bench at the weekend, even better news

Elizabeth

Aggi, don't be too despondent yet. This distancing is a start to people getting more behind it. You want people to be fully behind it but that will never happen because there are racists. However focusing on racists, as many do, will not bring people onside. My strong belief is that the less decent ...

I read that only last year Kick It Out supported The Times manifesto that is ' calling for a fundamental change in how football's authorities tackle racism and discrimination. This campaign is supported by Raheem Sterling amongst others. Hopefully recent events have made these authorities and the re...

Elizabeth

At last some common sense.
I hope others take a lead from the FA.
It is possible to mock someone of a different colour without being branded a racist.

Elizabeth

I am saddened that such a strong and powerfully good speech hasn't attracted more universal support due to that sentence, or part of it. Encouraging people to invest in black business for me is similar to the buy British promotion I support. Of course that will not always be possible due to restrict...

Elizabeth

The speech is perfectly written for Joshua and very clear a big mistake has been made

Elizabeth

I think with the enormous negative criticism Joshua has received today he needs to come out very soon to explain exactly what he meant by that paragraph. Otherwise people's interpretation, and the damage it has done, will remain unchanged. That would be a shame as the rest of his speech is well writ...

Mohammed Ali he ain't though. I watched Ali today on the Parkinson Show, way back some 50 years ago. Watched one such programme today and Ali was talking about the importance of people of different races marrying people from the same race. It was this morning so my memory might betray me but as near...

Everything still up in the air, nothing has changed. What happens if the government says they are sticking with neutral grounds following medical and police advice. Then there will have to be a vote and we will finally see which way the clubs will go.

Had to look that one up funky drummer, Owen Feltham 17th century writer. A really good fitting quote

Elizabeth

The Bojos have released a new single called 'Staying Alert'. Some will find it a good watch and the video can be found on You Tube

Elizabeth

I'll give you that macca, just!

Elizabeth

I have now found I am exhausted by all the politics involved in this Restart Project. Yes, I've wanted it to happen but only because I want to see football on the box. We are safe and have had a great season but I can watch German, Spanish or Italian football on the box if I want. They tell me that ...

Elizabeth

Call me sentimental if you want but this thread is making me think about my late friend Hampstead Claret.

Elizabeth

Be careful Frank, it is a repeat so don't want it spoiling for you

Elizabeth

Government support is the key

Ironically though, as things are up in the air, it is still possible we could get the support of the government but the cancellation of the league.

Elizabeth

I've started writing letters to old and new friends. Not a mention of the death toll once

Elizabeth

As in May the fork be with you ?

Elizabeth

How the hell did your fingers manage that con when I'm sure your brain was saying 'A right bitch'

Elizabeth

Anyone know where the May the 4th be with you slogan originated? Not a palatable answer for many people

Elizabeth

Now that's what I call thinking outside the box Colburn. Love the idea so much I'm not even going to spoil the idea by working out why it wouldn't work. Would like to be there to see Karen Brady's face as the news was broke to her and watching her quickly gulp at the realisation that West Ham would ...

Elizabeth

I'm glad you had the decency to put your shades on con

Elizabeth

Re: above post I bet there are disagreements within that Relegation group over how they want the season to end. Especially Bournemouth , Aston Villa and Norwich who would be relegated if results stand. Brighton and West Ham know what they are doing and I would be surprised if the other 3 mentioned f...

Elizabeth

I have read that the club vote will be whether to go ahead with the Restart Project and that if the bottom 6 try and sabotage it, the Top 6 clubs will lobby to ensure league results stand up to the suspension of the season, meaning relegation will be decided anyway. It's inconceivable to me that the...

Elizabeth

'Amores Perros' a 2000 Mexican film which has subtitles is one of my recommendations . Don't be put off by the subtitles , you will not be disappointed . A bit gory but a story line that appeals to anyone who likes the reality of poverty and the total destruction of families that goes with it. 'The ...

Elizabeth

Everyone can see their game. While the PL still have the power to decide on relegation if they choose to, similar to leagues in the countries who have ceased their competition, I hope that some of the bottom teams, especially those in the bottom 3, will decide it better to determine their fate on th...

Elizabeth

Yes, a very complicated situation and I'm confident that the powers that be will do their best to protect players released by clubs but there are going to be winners and losers as usual. In any season it is difficult for released players finding other clubs. What I think is different this time is th...

Jeff's agent might be waking up in the middle of the night sweating. I hope so

Elizabeth

Someone like Joe Hart? Burnley would be releasing him

Elizabeth

Without knowing anything about contract law my instincts tell me it's going to be trickier for the player than the club.

Elizabeth

Just been on the Metro newspaper on line site, put my post code in and delighted to find out 0 deaths in my ward. March 1-April 17

Elizabeth

As Dyche would say con its just noise, love the passion

Elizabeth

On the virtual coach back now licking the chocolate off my twix ( not a euphemism) and studying the grids.
I don't know where you came in the averages JM but good luck to you and the others.
Watch the eyes guys

Elizabeth

Damn and Blast, I've travelled this far for nothing!

Elizabeth

Or, add up everybody's points in previous rounds and take an average. The highest averages being declared the winners.
I've already done this JM, do you want to know how that leaves you?

Elizabeth

There are only 2 PL clubs that I could see mentioned in the report, Brighton and West Ham. West Ham I think are only out of the bottom 3 on goal difference and were making noises when we were all thinking what have Italy done wrong to have so many deaths. That mentality has changed but no surprise W...

May well be a similar scenes when fans are allowed back to watch

Elizabeth

I've just arrived Ralph, I'm confused. Just been stopped by spot who says it's behind closed doors.

Elizabeth

Mala, go on the ONS site. It's not easy to navigate but a quick looked for the Borough of Burnley showed 32 deaths involving Covid. They calculate the figure based on 100,000 people so the number will be lower in real terms. As explained further up the thread the ONS figures are calculated different...

La Haine - really good film, not watched it for a long time The director was once described as the white Spike Lee. He responded by saying he didn't know if it was intelligent to call him the white Spike Lee because they said to Spike Lee "you're a black Woody Allen" Not a chance Woody Allen would h...

Just to clarify that grumps, there will be many people going into hospital who will test negative . If they die they won't be counted.
I know this seems obvious but thought I post it anyhow

Elizabeth

Thanks Paul, I wouldn't have seen that article otherwise.
Puts a strong case for trying to get the season completed.
Would be good now to see a similar piece putting the case for ending the season now.

Elizabeth

Quite a big difference to how the players play the game today. As well as goalkeepers picking up back passes and referees allowing players to almost maim each other without caution there was less gamesmanship. Ossie Ardiles went down with cramp on the pitch and actually rolled off the pitch to get t...

Elizabeth

As promised Ralph, got my sandwiches and flask made up last night. Hopefully HunterST will be better but you know who to come to
